One posting talked about wrong directions, taking them way outta the way...check your route profiles...I made the mistake of saying no to tolls...well, THAT was scary in NY..LOL..but I love this Navigon..got the new maps feature as well. And their Customer Service is FANTASTIC..I am always contacted especially w/tech supp within 24 hours if not faster. BIG bang for buck..used my son's Tom Tom VA to MA, which we used the Navigon for prior...didn't like the Tom Tom...I wish that some of the fonts where bigger, but after 40, oops...lol...this is great I have recommended to several friends. Take the tiime and download and print the manual and read through it...it will help...right outta the box is easy if you are good with finding your way around softwares. BUY IT....the traffic was great for me too going MA to VA....so don't know about the neg. postings or why...but....

It takes forever to acquire a satelite signal. It routinely freezes. It routinely misclaculates the route sending you miles out of the way on what should be the most direct routes. I've had the unit replaced and received an updated map program neither of which fixed the problems.

I would just like to say anyone who has complaints about this product has not set it up correctly. It is very easy to use straight out of the box. It gives very accurate details and directions. I travel in an RV and it has taken me right to the door step of my destinations. I also use it around the DFW area and it is extremely accurate. I live out in the country and it will take me to my doorstep everytime. The mount that comes in the box works very well moving it between vehicles. People that complain about the battery life should get a life. It comes with the car charger so what is the big deal? If you want an al around great gps, this little jewel can't be beat. My dad seen it and went and bought one the same day. And by the way, he loves his too.

I love this thing, But when traveling down a road that is Highway 45 it says in 1 mile go left onto highway 45. I do believe it has something to do with the large interchanges but it also happens on single lane highways. I appreciate the voice saying PLEASE! make a U-Turn then it will recalculate and you are off. easy to see day or night. I can go from KCMO to St Louis on a single charge. Downloading updates is WAY too easy.

Frankly, I bought the unit expecting that I would not be totally happy, because I'm picky with electronics. But I'm actually quite pleased and glad I bought it. I started using the unit within minutes of buying it and easily got it going. Suction cup mounting works well, but having to plug the power into the bottom of the unit makes me mount it higher than I'd like. Works well in large city. Optional traffic info worked well; recalculates routes quickly. Built in POI list is good mainly for gas, food, banks, atms - no stores without the optional package. It does all I expected, but more easily and better than I expected. I have found a couple of out-dated intersections and POI's. Sometimes the route chosen is not the fastest or best, but will still get you there.

I THOUGHT THE REALITY VEIW AND THE TRAFFIC WOULD BE A GREAT FEATURE. WELL THE REALITY VEIW IS GOOD, BUT DOES NOT OUT WEIGH ALL OF THE CONS. THE TRAFFIC FEATURE DIDN'T WORK THAT GREAT 50%. MAPS ARE OUT OF DATE, A COUPLE OF YEARS OUT OF DATE. CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS. WHEN I TOLD SERVICE ABOUT OUT OF DATE MAPS. THEY TRIED TO SELL ME FRESH MAP $79.00. WHEN I TOLD C.S. THAT I WOULD RETURN IT THEY SAID," DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO" MAPS SHOULD BE FROM THE DAY YOU BUY IT!!!! GUESS I'LL CHECK A DIFFERENT GPS TOM TOM GARMIN

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

WOW..saved an additional 10% opening a RS Charge...they guys where AWESOME at this location...BIG BANG for the buck...and it fit my budget to include Text-speech, live traffic and a 2 year extended warranty for under 170....how can ya beat it...easy to load up favorite destinations..loads of POI's..the only con was that it doesn't keep up with my tapping..and the keyboard goes top to bottom instead of normal keyboard layout. Maybe they will change that with updates? Great right out of the box...just wished they included a reg. charger...lol...well, I'll update after a month of using but right now, it is a HUGE FIND....and thanks to the guys at RS Court St. I was well informed to make a decision...thanks Guys!!!!(the other RS in the area acted as if I didn't exist..hmph).

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

This GPS system worked straight out the box ,very impressed. This was my first GPS system and I love it to death. This was my first trip with my kids out of town and it got me there on time .Very easy to use I did not get lost or anything. I don't know what I would have done with out this system. People please don't read other people bad reviews, they probaly just recieved a bad one . I have not never even tried to travel out town ,even in my own State of Michigan with my kids. Now that I have this GPS I won't be scared to travel anymore especially with my kids.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

I use the navigon 2100 to get around the city. Many places have detours and it automatically re-routes you. It get you where you need to go. The size is great but, the only thing I don't like are the small buttons when entering an adress. It would be great if there was a feature to increase the button size. Other than that 2 thumbs way up!

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

I bought it for the real time trafic and it does not work although they said it works.
It breaks all the time, I have to press reset button at least once a wk, it takes a long time to get the signal.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

I work in retail and sell GPS everyday, I would recommend the Navigons. They also have the best deal for add ons like traffic and map updates. The 2100 is a little different from other GPS when it comes to the menu but just play with it for 10-15 minutes and its not hard at all

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

Love this GPS, text to speech says every street name I have come encounter with [...] Only con : I wish I would have gotten the larger screen version for the same price? I use it for a lot in my business.I have been around Ohio and the Pittsburg area's, gets me right to my destination even (10x) better than my built in Infiniti Navigation.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

The devices controls are easy to learn and use, but unfortunately the device breaks down very soon. It would be a waste of money to buy this product.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

After several weeks of research I decided to buy the Navigon 2100. The largest thing that impressed me about this unit was the Reality View. Right after I got it I had to go on a small 85 mile trip. The unit works well except it doesn't get you all the way to your destination. I was visiting a college and when I got the the main entrance it told me I was at my destination. Even though this was a huge campus and I had entered the exact address. It did this several times during my trip when I used the POI options to find places to eat. It would get me close to my destination but not always within eye shot of them, so I would be in my car, hear "You have reached your destination", and I'd still be on a main road looking around for my destination. It also couldn't find my home, when I first used it I programmed in my home address and let it take me home, I pulled into my driveway and it still thought I needed to go down the street to reach my house. Honestly I wasn't expecting to be able to get me right to the door of my destination, but at least to the parking lot. I returned the unit yesterday, and I'm on the hunt again for another one that will have better maps.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

I purchased Navigon 2100 while in the States and when I got home, found out that it is not for Canadians "yet". but I must say, for the States, it worked great. I am anxiously waiting for the update to include Canada.

Thanks

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

I'm a model so I get sent out on different auditions all over the LA and Orange County. As long as I have an address, I know I can make it there plus it tells my estimated arrival time. Love that. And if you go a different way or miss a turn, it redirects almost immediately. You have the option of looking at the 3D map or 2D or turn by turn directions.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

My CPA loved it. It has a logbook feature that tracks your mileage and is downloadable to an Excell file for tax records. I use it in multiple cars and record all my travel from volenteer to multiple stop business / sales trips. It speaks the name of the street so you don't have to keep looking at it when you drive; one of the few. It adjusts quickly when I drive a shorter known route to match mine but is great when traffic causes a detour. I have bought one for my brother as an early anniversary present. He loved it on a camping trip we took the boys on.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

VERY EASY TO USE. GREAT BANG FOR THE BUCK. GETS YOU ANYWHERE YOU NEED TO GO..EVEN IF YOU BYPASS YOU EXIT OR STREETS. PICKS UP NEW ROUTE VERY QUICKLY. EVEN A CAVEMAN CAN USE IT....

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

Almost always sends me to an unknown route and not sure how it calculates some of those directions. I use it when I know where I'm going to test it and good thing I already know where I'm going. Not sure how other GPS's are but not crazy about this one.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

This is a very good finder, I have told family and friends about this. My husband went out and purchased him one also. It get's me to and from the places, I need to go. The price is awesome also it's not to much money.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

It took me about three minutes to get it working. Very easy to use! Took a lot of stress out of determining when the next intersection (turn off) would occur. It has found locations which would have been impossible with the directions on web-sites. I have already recommended it to several friends. I have had it in about 15 states so far and I have never experienced any problems. The traffic alerts work great! As well as the ability to re-route for traffic alerts or when I deside to take another route that I choose.

you cant go wrong with the gps unit. my buddy has a mio and he wishes he would of bought the navigon 2100 instead.

Poor mounting bracket. Unreliable navigatin. Lost signal frequently, then froze up.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

I tried and returned 2 Garmin and 1 TOM TOM before settling on this unit. It has more features for the $ and is more accurate than the TOM TOM (MIO and TOM TOM have different map systems than Garmin and Navigon)-The roads are marked well and it takes me logical routes. The maps are, so far, very reliable and accurate (I've taken it on several test runs basically all over the city and have not had one problem finding anything). One note: I DID have to download an upgrade when I registered it, but when I did, it downloaded newer maps for free. Very nice. - I like the 3D road signs that pop up on the screen at highway interchanges so you know which lane to be in. It also has a "take me home" option so you don't have to enter an address. - It also shows the speed limit on the highways and will give you a "caution" warning when you are going over whichever pre-set speed you choose ( I chose 10 MPH over), or you can just turn it off.-You can set it to avoid tollways or other things. Some reviews say that it gives you too many turn prompts, but if you read the manual you will find how to turn off certain prompts.The only things I have found to be not so great are - the voice sounds like a female version of Stephen Hawking- very computer like and sometimes it says the street names funny, like "Roy-oyal" instead of "Royal" Or "Belt-leewine" instead of "Beltline". But those are the only two examples I have found. Also, the screen could be brighter, but if you adjust the screen angle or buy a screen protector the problem goes away. The windshield mount is cumbersome, so I am going to purchase a bean bag mount for the dash instead. It also took me 2 days to figure out how to work the unit properly. I was frustrated at first since it isn't as intuitive as the Garmin, but once you program it a few times and play with all of the options, it is fine.Over all I am very happy with the Navigon and for [$], it was a fantastic deal!

Everything seemed "OK" with the unit except the colors washing out on the LCD screen when it was in direct sunlight.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

This GPS got me lost in new jersey/ new york 5 times, had me going the same route. configured poorly, only fancy when on the high way cos it shows you a 3d visual on the actual interstate signs, thats not helping me, if im getting lost the whole time. The GPS has absolutely no clue on where its going, one time it stopped me on the middle of the highway and told me i had arrived, ARRIVED where???? trust me dont bother, this is an awful one. get a magellan or something instead.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

I love this thing. I have had mine since December 2007 and it has not failed me yet. I honestly have not seen the problems described in some reviews. Sounds like it was set up incorrectly, or route profile was not used properly. It is after all a GPS unit not a mind reader.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

Every day, I have to choose which of three freeway routes to drive for my commute. I bought the lifetime live traffic alerts - my Navigon 2100 works great for this. I've let it reroute me around traffic & it's worked great! I own a TomTom & have used both while travelling. I find the Reality View & speed limit monitoring features of the Nav2100 very satisfying.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

I live in San Francisco and it works great here and in the East Bay (Oakland, Berkley CA area) On Navigon's website you can get map updates now. For the price, you cannot ask for much more. Satellites do take a while to connect (a few minutes, sometimes faster), but once it does its cool. The POIs could have a few more options, but at [$], it's hard to complain when there are other units out there for $400+. We love the unit and we just plug in the address and go! It has not failed us yet. Since the Bay Area is huge and we just moved here, we use it 3-4 times a week - I recommend for the casual user like us.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

This unit definatally surprised me. I have used primarly garmin and magellan units but this unit is much better and give you better information than the other units. I am probably going to get the 2100 max in a few weeks or give this one to my girlfriend.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

There were a lot more good reviews than bad so I gave it a shot when it was on sale. Believe me when I tell you the bad reviews are correct. Either this is a first gps for many & they don't know any better or Navigon themselves is stuffing websites with phony good reviews to offset the bad reviews. Many of the routes & things it wants you to do range from awful to dangerous.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

I love my GPS. The price was right. I've had it now, for about 3 months. I travel alone a lot. I'm not good with paper directions. This was a life saver for me. Battery life is not that great, but just plug it in and keep going. Now, I just go any where I want to go and not worry about getting lost. I go places now, that I'd never go alone.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

Very bad directions. Got me lost a couple of times already. I called navigon thinking i got a bad unit & was basically told they're all bad. I was told that an update will be issued to fix it but everyone will have to pay for it. The fact that the thing is supposed to have a warranty means nothing to them. Lucky I still have a couple of days to return mine. Feel bad for people who got stuck with this & can't return it. They should report navigon to BBB, Consumer's Affairs Dept or Consumer Affairs Division of Attorney General Office. If a lawyer bought this maybe he can file a class action lawsuit.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

Make sure you update the software which is easy to do. Set the route preferences in the settings. I never could justify spending several hundred dollars for a GPS but I got this at another store for [$] Went back and got my wife one. May not have all the bells and whistles but for me it works great. I got a car plug female adapter and hard wire that into the fuse box and plugged into that so battery life no issue now.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

I find that peoples bad reviews are unfounded. I find the reality view and best lane choice unbelievably accurate. No it doesn't show your movement during reality view but who cares. It's almost impossible to miss an exit or end up in an exit only lane. Recalculation is almost instantaneous. Speech to text is great. It even tells you what side of the road your destination is on. Some pronunciations of the local street pronunciations are not the same as a local might pronounce it but that doesn't matter either. A lithium polymer battery would extend battery life but this unit is awfully inexpensive to expect it. I learned all the functions before realizing the owners manual was on line. That would have made things a little quicker on the initial setup.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

I just don't understand the people here that says the 2100 has bad routing. if you already know how to get where you going WHY WHY the hell are you using it. i've tried garmin,tom tom and magallen gps and by far this Navigon 2100 can't be beat on performance speed and it's the most reliable one by far, for the price.

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

I've only used this unit locally but, it has been on the mark with turn directions and such. It gained a couple of stars after I installed the free update from the Navigon website. Touch screen was very unresponsive before. Update fixed that problem.

I took a trip to my sisters house in Shreveport, La., in the Country. and it took me right to her house. It was amazing.

i work at Radioshack and have owned a couple of units some by Magellan and some by TomTom. I felt that this unit was the best and was the most accurte when tell you to turn or find a certain house address. I felt that the volume on this one is the best of any of the units. Remember i am comparing this unit to the ones that cost [$] and i found this one to be the best one out there at least that radioshack carries in their stores

Comments about NAVIGON NAVIGON® 2100 GPS Navigator:

My wife and I do not like electronic extras. Aside from a laptop, a calculator sees little use.
I needed to drive 50 miles with congested highways going north and south bound. I ran to Radio Shack, picked one a Navigon 2100 and handed it to her and asked her to make it work. We have NEVER used one of these things and never seen one outside of a box. Within 10 minutes it was a life saver navigating through our city. The "2D" maps shows up even in a small city like Dayton,Ohio.
It found a quick route home paralleling I-75.
I'll have to give a 6 month review given I work 75 miles from home. It was recommended over a TOMTOM one. I did
